Dr. Abdul El-Sayed on Historic Michigan Win: "People Are Sick and Tired of This Politics of Hatred"
We speak with Dr. Abdul El-Sayed after his victory in Michigan's primary race for U.S. Senate sent shockwaves through the Democratic Party. El-Sayed, a former public health official, ran a progressive campaign focused on affordability, Medicare for All, getting money out of politics, and opposing Israel's genocide in Gaza. He defeated Congressmember Haley Stevens, who was backed by tens of millions in outside spending including by AIPAC, the powerful pro-Israel lobby group.

"In an era where many of us can't afford basic things like groceries or rent or healthcare, the idea that your government is sending your tax dollars to buy bombs and tanks for foreign governments seems anathema," El-Sayed says. "That money could be spent to fix your potholes, rebuild your kid's school."

El-Sayed says his focus now is on beating Republican nominee Mike Rogers, whom he calls a "bootlicker for Trumpism," and to present a positive vision for his party that can lead into the next Democratic presidential administration.

"Zero Accountability": Ecuadorian Prosecutor Assassinated While Investigating U.S. Boat Strikes
U.S. boat strikes across the Caribbean and eastern Pacific have killed at least 221 people since September, while the Trump administration has provided no evidence linking the vessels or their passengers to drug trafficking. Ecuadorian prosecutor Alexandra Bravo was fatally shot on June 14 by a hitman in the city of Manta. Bravo had been investigating U.S. strikes on three Ecuadorian boats in which 36 passengers survived, many of them recounting alleged torture by American gunmen in U.S. military uniforms aboard a U.S.-flagged patrol ship.

The allegations of U.S. boat strikes and torture Bravo was investigating "are a reflection of the growing U.S.-backed military dictatorship in Ecuador," says Camila Lourdes Galarza, an investigative journalist and labor organizer based in Quito. Lourdes Galarza says that during Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa's reelection last year, former Blackwater mercenaries patrolled voting sites at gunpoint.

"The Trump administration has deepened U.S. security cooperation with Ecuador as a response to the surge in violence in [Ecuador], particularly to the growth of organized crime groups," adds Juanita Goebertus, director of the Americas division at Human Rights Watch. "None of the two governments have provided transparency about the nature of their security cooperation."
